A hidden leak rarely announces itself with a burst pipe. More often, it shows up as a higher-than-usual water bill, a damp patch on the lawn, or a musty smell inside the home. If you have noticed any of these signs at your Sorrento property, our team can help you find the source quickly and accurately using specialist detection equipment. We service homes and businesses throughout Sorrento and the greater Gold Coast, including the surrounding Broadwater suburbs.
As soon as you contact Sorrento Plumbing & Drains, we arrange a time to inspect your property using acoustic, thermal or pressure-testing methods, depending on where the leak is likely hiding. We pinpoint the exact location before any repair work begins, so you are not left with unnecessary holes in your walls or slab. If you suspect a leak, do not let it linger. Call {{phone_number}} and let our experienced plumbers get to the bottom of it.
Not every leak is obvious. Many hidden water leaks develop slowly under a concrete slab, inside a wall cavity or along the pipe running from your water meter to the house, gradually pushing your water bill higher without any visible sign of damage. A spinning water meter when every tap is off, warm patches on tiled floors or a musty odour in a particular room are all signs worth taking seriously.
Left undetected, a slab leak or in-wall pipe leak can undermine flooring, damage timber framing and encourage mould growth, turning a simple repair into an expensive renovation. Older copper pipework is particularly prone to pinhole leaks as it ages, while poly and PEX lines can fail at fittings and joints over time. Distinguishing a genuine water leak from stormwater seepage or a sewer issue also matters, since each requires a different approach to fix properly.
If you are dealing with an unexplained high water bill, a damp ceiling or a soggy patch in the yard, our team can identify exactly what is happening beneath the surface before any digging or demolition takes place.
At Sorrento Plumbing & Drains, we use a combination of acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure testing to find leaks without guesswork. Rather than breaking into walls or excavating your yard on a hunch, we mark the exact location first, then talk you through the most sensible repair option.
Once we have located your leak, our licensed plumbers can carry out the repair on the spot, whether that means patching a section of pipe, relining under the slab or replacing a corroded fitting, all backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Leak detection often goes hand in hand with other plumbing and drainage work around your Sorrento property. Here are a few related services our team can assist with once your leak has been found and repaired.
